Debugging Application

KubeVela supports several CLI commands for debugging your applications, they can work on control plane and help you access resources across multi-clusters. Which also means you can play with your pods in managed clusters directly on the hub cluster, without switching KubeConfig context. If you have multiple clusters in on application, the CLI command will ask you to choose one interactively.

List all your applications.
